Hi
Does anyone know if there is an app that will multi task whilst playing YouTube videos?
Would love to be able to play a video then minimise it and do other things like reply to texts etc..
i installed the youtube panel but it isn't so comfortable for me. I prefer the site m.youtube.com but i cannot watch the videos there although i installed the plash plugin.. is there any other way to watch youtube videos?

Use official YouTube application by Google for WM!
I already installed the youtube app but it isn't so comfortable with me... it bothers me that after a search for a video i cannot categorize the results by rating for example. It also bothers me that the videos are opened with the streaming media app and not with TCMP or another video app. Now, as it concerns the m.youtube.com site, the videos are opened only with the streaming media app and not with another video player. Can i change that? Can somebody help?
Hi there,
I want t o be able to play a youtube video and browse the internet at the same time. But every time I leave youtube either through the application or through the browser it stops working.
I tried through FireFox mobile but no dice even using an extension called phony.
and help?
Also I managed to use an MP3 as my incoming call ring-tone.
Is it possible to do the same for the incoming messages?
I guess that's a "problem" of the youtube app which stops playing as it is minimized.
either that or android just needs the Ram for surfing
you could use ringdroid
Could it be im using it wrong?
Because it works with the music player which comes with the phone..
I press the home botten long it brings the multi tasker up and i choose something else like the internet and just stops playing.. It dos not close the app it just stops the video.
Thx for the app by the way.

Video uses a LOT more resource then audio does so it makes sense that the music player would continue while the video player would not. Also I know that app developers went out of their way to enable music to remain playing in the background of other apps. Video? Not so much.
I tested it on my own phone. When I switch to a different app, the YouTube app pauses and loses signal. When I return to it, it has to search for the video again.
Hello xda, I found a way to play YouTube videos while screen is off (Only sound) and also to play them in the background (e.g. browsing on chrome while play a song on the Youtube app).
This can be made by using HALO (From Paranoid), and NOVA launcher (Not tested wih others, sorry)
I TESTED WITH:
Rom- Paranoid Android 3.98, 3.99
HALO Version- 2.0
Launcher- Nova Launcher Prime v2.0.2
Youtube - v5
here´s how to:
-First, you need to "stick" your launcher to HALO by using the app "HALO)))",
-Now, whenever you want to play the video on background or screen off, you need to launch your launcher using HALO while the video is playing
-That's it, now you are able to launch any app and the video will still playing, or you can simply lock the phone and it'll keep on.
This method can be used with other video apps and may work (Such as MX player) or may not (Netflix quit the video), you'll have to test this with your favourite one.
BUGS:
There are some bugs by using this method, I could find these 2:
-If you're playing a video on the background and try to make a phonecall, you'll hear the audio of the video over the call speaker, and sometimes after you hang up the phone, the whole system and apps sounds will be played by this speaker until you reboot the phone.
-a friend of mine tried this method using dodol launcher and, besides it didn't work, the launcher got bugged and had to Force stop to fix it.
P.S- Please tell me if you got this working with other Launchers and video players, so I can add them on the 1st post
P.S.2-
Thank you for your time and have fun!

I have created a mobile. app for myself to be YouTube background music player it can be downloaded from here: drive.google.com/file/d/1gbg5mfO2_wTECSZrA94Y1YzRMmE4uSar/view?usp=sharing
Currently it has the following options in it:
You can add music from the YouTube app using the share option.
You can add music from YouTube links.
You can search YouTube music in app and later on add them too favourite from the application itself.
You can listen music in background/locked screen and turned of screen.
You. can record video with the music on the background together with the video audio you are recoding.
Happy to hear some feedback if you use it
